1992 saw the last standard release which was a limited edition in the livery of Drambuie. It was black all over with gold and red lettering and lining with gold plating to the brightwork which resulted in a very striking model which became an instant hit with collectors.

Livery: (Tampo)
'DRAMBUIE' in red with gold edging and 'PRINCE CHARLES EDWARD'S LIQUEUR' and '8/9 UNION STREET EDINBURGH' in gold all within red coachline on both sides of van body.
Red outline to oval windows.
'DRAMBUIE' in red with gold edging and '8/9 UNION STREET EDINBURGH' in gold on closed rear doors.
Company coat of arms in gold, red, white, green and black on both cab doors.

Variations/Rarities: Although the 'Drambuie' was made in China, no casting changes were apparent.
The cab ceiling lug was visible but 'Drambuie' models have also been found without this lug.
Axles were all press-fit.
This model had an estimated production run of around 35,000.
